Second Build .. Please help

[blackstar500]

Hello All I would like to replace my old build which is now about 12 years,

I am a non gamer ..Looking for something for mostly work related - Programming, watching movies and music

Items from the old build

1. Asus P8Z77-V LX Z77 Mobo
2 . Intel corei5 3570k
3 Kingston 120gb hyperx 3k ssd
4 8gb DDRRAM
5 C Master Elite 450 Black case
6 A/cooling freezer 7 pro v2


I am hoping that I can replace the motherboard and processor and reuse the rest ( if possible)

Please suggest a MB and Processor - My Bugdet is about £500

Many thanks

Hi and welcome.

You will need memory also but what's your main use ? E.g gaming

A 12 year old power supply is risking it what is your model , and will you be using onboard graphics ?

not a gamer ... Yes memory as well minimum 16Gig thanks

So a basic pc surfing the net and watching YouTube ?

WiFi needed ?

A bonus .. I have pci wifi card ... and doing office stuff .. most hard task would be a bit of programming and trading

Hi what do you mean by -F CPU .. most of mbs dont have integrated graphics cards

 

[blackstar500]

The i5-12400 (with integrated graphics) is £175 and that is not an acceptable price, in my opinion.

The i5-13400 is £230 and again, I think that price is too high for your usage.


I'm not sure what you're asking?

To use the motherboard for display, you need a CPU that has integrated graphics.

The -F CPUs do not have any graphics, so the motherboard would have no display.

Thanks that cleared it up -- So you recommend that I stick to this one to the i3-12100 cause it is a fair price and has an integrated cpu
